Would like to know how these Suv's are. I would like to know how the gas mileage would be. They are both V-6, the 2001 has 24,000 miles and the 2003 has 58,000 miles on. Would anyone recommend one over the other. The 2003 is fully loaded but has a lot of miles. The difference in price is only about two thousand dollars.
Thanks Jerry
They are excellent vehicles that will go 200K with good maintenance. They however no econo boxes. Expect 14-18 MPG and they want premium.
I'm very happy with my '01 QX4, which isn't much more than an LE. It is my 4th Path/QX4 in about 12 years. They do many things well; they tow pretty well, have a good ride, don't look too bad compared to other SUVs, don't break often, and have a good 4WD system. But gas mileage in the city is always about 14.5 for me. I think I got 20 on the highway once; 18 or 19 is more likely. My two Pathfinders had manual transmissions, and gas mileage was 17 city and 21 highway.
I bought a 2001 Pathfinder SE last spring w/99,000 miles on it, but it is in excellent shape and I figure it is good for many more miles, since I also have a 95 Maxima SE purchased May 94. I hadn't even thought of Nissan when looking for a replacement for my old Ford F150 4x4 until I stumbled on recommendation of Pathfinder as a good used vehicle in an old Consumer Reports annual. I do not think there is any signficant difference 2001 through 2004 models (2000 & earlier had less hp).
